The Bucket List: 50+ Ways to Add to the Story

Everybody has a list of things they want to do before the end comes. Things like jump out of an airplane or see their kids graduate… You know, those sorts of things. Inspired by a few friends, I decided that it was time to catalog some of these things and actually do a few of them! I know that a lot of people set up lists full of exotic travel and faraway lands, but some of these things require time and money that I don’t always have. That’s where the simpler things get sprinkled in… Still, I can’t help but look toward that trip to Europe ;D
